three ◆ action.

[extraordinarily]

✖ everywhere;

[ There is a teenage girl running around, carrying a huge amount of papers that state something really important is happening. At least, to said teenage girl, it's 'important'. However, that's not the only thing that's odd.

This girl is wearing something that is completely different than her past outfits as a detective and a somewhat average high schooler.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen: the girl before you is wearing a bunny girl outfit. Sure, she might not have been allowed to wear this anymore on school grounds while she was alive, but now that she was dead, those rules were also dead to her.

Either way, Haruhi Suzumiya will wander around everywhere and anywhere, passing out the flyers to any person who doesn't seem to be an NPC, giving this announcement along with it: ]

Alright! Later today, there will be a very important meeting that may concern you, your lives, and possibly even your deaths! It's really important that you come if you want to know all the latest information regarding... well, everything!

[ Basically if your character reads the flyer, it pretty much says this (insert link of a pretty flyer here). ]

✖ in an empty classroom, during school hours;

[ After passing enough flyers, she'll head into an empty classroom. In fact, this classroom is one the music classrooms. Haruhi will stop here, pick up a guitar and play a little song... ]

If we could understand each other better
Right now, she'd be getting along with me

The way back home is always a paradise
Did we talk about everything while licking ice cream? ♫

[ However, she won't exactly notice anyone coming in the classroom as she sings, so feel free to bother her any time during or after the song. ]

✖ in an empty classroom, afterschool;

[ Haruhi will be waiting for people to arrive, and when they do, she'll put on her nerd glasses on (not that she needs them, she just feels like it) and grin at everyone. ]

Welcome, everyone! As you might already know, I'm Suzumiya Haruhi: former brigade chief, ultra detective, and expert on everything supernatural!!

[ Of course, she's speaking in the most energetic voice before she starts drawing some diagrams on the whiteboard.

The first diagram is here and the second is here, linked for your convenience. ]

Anyway, I have called all of you guys here in order to explain several things to you. I've spoken to a bunch of people who have different interpretations of what 'Earth' is like, and I've come up with two possible solutions!

[ She then slams her hand down on the first diagram on the left side. ]

The first is that everyone is from different worlds! Parallel worlds, if you catch my drift! But then that raises the obvious question: why are we all in the same afterlife? That's simple. You see the diagram?

The words intersect with one afterlife, meaning that everyone and everything that dies ends up here, no matter what world they come from.

[ And then she points at the second one, just as energetically. ]

The second is that everyone is from a different point in time! Of course, I thought this was crazy, but there's a possibility that after you die, you don't 'wake up' right away and that whoever rules this place gets to choose when and where you wake up in the afterlife.

Though it might just be an altered timeline thing, as you can see in the diagram.

Genius, right?

[ Soon enough, however, she stops sounding energetic and instead sounds a little more serious. In fact, even her expression looks more serious than before. ]

Anyway, if you have any questions about that, go ahead and throw them at me. Also, I'd like to hear what each and any of your Earths are about so we can come up with a more logical conclusion.

[ And you think she was done? Think again. She already got all the 'important' stuff out of the way, so now it's time for the other things. ]

If you don't already know — or if you haven't heard of it already, in just a few weeks, it will be Christmas! Christmas! Which means that this place has to be Christmas-upped for the holiday!

I'm sure that Mr. Christ will be proud of us, celebrating his birthday even after we've all died! And maybe he'll even do something real great! So keep the date in mind: December 25th! We'll have a party and maybe even cook a nice hot pot, too! If you have any ideas, I'll keep them in mind.

(OOC: OKAY, finally finished with this long, horrible, and image-filled post! The English translation for the song lyrics are here if you need them!

Basically, the third half of the post is a mingle option, so feel free to threadjack other threads and such.)

[ .. Leon was just here for the bunnygirl, but somehow it feels like he got ripped off.. Not like he's spending money, but still, he's wasting valuable lazing around time!!

Because seriously, what is this whole story even about? Different worlds? It explains the incident from the other day, but it still somehow feels.. dumb to him..

Yeah, there's one guy sitting in the classroom where everyone gathered with pretty much the dumbest expression on his face as he tries to grasp all of it. ]

because i do what i want!!

[gentlelady]

... Are you alright? You look troubled.

[ Cue a blonde, blue-eyed girl leaning over from the chair next to his. This guy looks definitely weird... she wonders if that's a standard expression people tend to use. Having been blind since birth, she sure couldn't distinguish faces that easily. ]

stops you!!!

[tsunball]

[ ...

W.. what even, this girl is so cute-- and she's talking to him right off the bat, without him even needing to say something?! SCORE. Obviously. Total score up in here, his mood seems to flipflop right around as he grins dumbly. ]

N.. no, I'm fine! I was just.. y'know, thinking about everything, just that..!

you can't stop me sisbutt!!

[gentlelady]

Ah, I see. I can't blame you for that. Everything is so confusing, and I've been here just for a couple days.

[ Her concern fades away as she smiles at him. ] Are you new here, too?

that's what you think!!

[tsunball]

Nah, I've been here for a while already.

[ Ah, she's so nice too..!! Dokis all over right here. ]

Doesn't make things any less confusing though, this place is really weird. You haven't been harassed by weird guys yet, have you? [ YOU'RE THE ONLY HARASSING WEIRD GUY HERE, LEON. ]

[extraordinarily]

If you're going to wear that stupid look on your face during the whole discussion, you might as well leave right now.

[ And she's totally pointing at the door. ]

[tsunball]

[ Haruhi, why are you so cruel!! In fact, why are all guys Leon knows like this.. ]

Hey, you're the one who invited me! Kicking me out for no reason is way too cruel then, shit..!

[extraordinarily]

It's not for no reason.

[ Seriously. She wouldn't kick out someone from the classroom if she didn't have a reason, after all. ]

It's because you're completely unhelpful. Plus, you're not doing anything, and I hate slackers!

[tsunball]

What am I supposed to do about all this?! You just told a story and I listened, that's the end of it! Not like I can try to make up some whole other plan for what's going on here, I didn't even get this one!

[ .. Not that he isn't a slacker.

Normally. ]

[onewayroad]

[Accelerator did not come here for the bunny girl. He just had nothing else to do and was bored enough to see what this ridiculous girl felt was so important to tell people about. When she's finished with her explanation, he just gives the biggest sigh and rolls his eyes in the most skeptical manner, as if he's just been subjected some really stupid conspiracy theory]

On what information do you base those crazy theories?

[extraordinarily]

That's simple.

[ She just smiles, not really caring about the fact that this guy is always and has always been a jerk ever since she met him. ]

The fact that a certain someone has told me that he's from an 'Earth' that doesn't have a Japan! And the fact I don't know certain details that are considered not only normal to some people, but common facts.

[onewayroad]

And did you compare the date each person is familiar with?

[gives her a Look]

[extraordinarily]

I haven't asked yet. Maybe I'll do that if he shows up! Though he's kind of an idiot.

[superhacker]

[ Well, it's not like half of what Chihiro heard is new to him. The different worlds he could get, the timeline thing a little less, but he basically understood what's going on. Now, if that girl didn't look so intimidating while at it, he would have asked for clarifications-- but as it is, he thinks he's better off just sitting there, clutching his laptop in his arms and glancing at Leon and whoever he knows in the classroom. He's already got Yuri to deal with, ok.

And since his tendency to wear girl clothes hasn't worn off at all, you'll get a "girl" shifting a bit uncomfortably in "her" chair, listening to whatever the other people are discussing. It's best to keep a low profile at all times. ]

[extraordinarily]

[ At least she didn't say "heads will roll if you don't do anything". ... Yet.

But Haruhi will smile and approach, speaking in the most energetic voice that she an muster. ]

Hey! Do you have any questions...? Or even ideas for the Christmas party!

[superhacker]

[ Ah! She's talking to him! Mission failed, abandon ship, etc. etc.

But no, Chihiro must be brave and stay put on that chair, gulping a few times before he speaks. ]

Well, er... I was wondering, if we come from different Earths, then it means the countries could be different, right? There might be no Japan at all in some worlds... I-It's a little strange that we ended up in a sort of traditional japanese school- I'm sure it doesn't look this way in western countries... I think...

[ Chihiro trails off after that. Ok, now he's just rambling - time to go straight to the point! ] I just wonder why this school and the everything about it represents the afterlife...

[extraordinarily]

There's a possibility that might be true! After all, in an afterlife with aliens and espers, I'm sure that anything's possible.

[ Her voice is energetic as always, though there's a hint of seriousness in it. ]

And who knows? The afterlife is supposed to be a paradise... at least, according to books on it. But school? Seriously? That's no paradise.

After school

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[Obviously not here of his own free will, Kyon stares as the bizarre diagrams before him.]

... Oi, Suzumiya. What the hell are these even supposed to be anyway?

[extraordinarily]

Weren't you listening?

[ Haruhi rolls her eyes, folding her arms over her chest. ]

They're diagrams that help explain my theories!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, diagram...

(Not the most impressive diagrams I've seen.)

[extraordinarily]

[ HEY.

Nobody said they had to be complicated. Or understandable at all whatsoever. ]

And if you don't understand them, you must be the biggest idiot in the universe!

Empty classroom, after school

[amorality]

[Ryan's been lurking quietly since arriving. He considers it quite lucky that he found one of Haruhi's flyers, though he is admittedly disappointed to discover that she's a school girl. Still, her theories are sound enough. He shouldn't judge her by her appearance. Best to discuss things with her seriously - so long as she doesn't prove to actually be an idiot, that is.]

This is a school, isn't it? In that case, it stands to reason that there would be history books around here. We can check them to see if they mention more than one timeline.

[extraordinarily]

I've already checked the library, and it doesn't mention anything of the sort. In fact, the latest date that I've found in the library is 2012, so if anyone is from after that date, there's no information about it.

[ She's not an idiot! Just a little eccentric, but not an idiot! After all, she got top grades during the last examinations. ]

/keep nitpicking my own tags, sorry orz

[amorality]

2012? You're kidding! Isn't that when the Mayan calendar ends? Ahaha, that's amazing!

[It might be inappropriate, but Ryan's going to laugh at it anyway.]

I died in 2006, if that factors into your research at all.

[Moving right along! He rubs his chin thoughtfully. So she's already visited the library, has she? She must have not found any inconsistencies there or they would have been mentioned in the presentation, surely.]

So would I be right in guessing everything you found lines up with the version of events you recall from your world? Just who was it you talked to that sounded like they were from another world?

it's completely fine, no worries!

[extraordinarily]

Yeah, that's right. Though I highly doubt that the world ended that year!

[ And she'll just nod at the date of death, jotting it down in the notepad that she keeps in her notepad. ]

And that's right. Most of the events that everyone calls 'significant'. There was a guy who said he was an esper! He even has powers. Oh, and this alien guy with spiky hair who can fly. He said he didn't know anything about Japan, even though he said he was from Earth.
